Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1670074A2] An automotive headlamp (82) is equipped with a light source containing one or more light-emitting diodes LEDs, and a base member, namely a pedestal and rear case, for securing the light source to the automobile (80). The LED includes: a GaN substrate (1); a n-type Al x Ga 1-x N layer (3) on a first main surface side of the GaN substrate (1); a p-type Al x Ga 1-x N layer (5) positioned further away from the GaN substrate (1) compared to the n-type Al x Ga 1-x N layer (3); and a multi-quantum well (4) positioned between the n-type Al x Ga 1-x N layer (3) and the p-type Al x Ga 1-x N layer (5). In this LED, the specific resistance of the GaN substrate (1) is no more than 0.5 ©·cm, the p-type Al x Ga 1-x N layer (5) side is down-mounted, and light is discharged from a second main surface (1a), which is the main surface of the GaN substrate (1) opposite from the first main surface.
